Suggestion - sort the dropdowns for the format strings. I would find it helpful if the format strings for the dropdowns were sorted and all the patterns I used were retained. When looking for a previously used pattern it is difficult to find the one I'm looking for because there is no sort order. Also if I have previously created a pattern I'd like to see it in the list. I realize that the list could become rather long but for me this would be helpful.
